Avocado Green
Back in 1984-1985, I bought this exact model(with the extra energy saver dry pushbutton) second hand for $100. I replaced the racks(top and bottom at a cost of about $100 a piece), and this dishwasher worked perfectly till I sold it with the property. Who knows, it could still be working(spray painted the front almond to match the new appliances before I sold). It was a great machine and cleaned like a charm. I still love my present KA(Model#KUDS220T4), but, please explain the 'farce' about the sure temp water heating.....what do you think it should be doing that it doesn't? | ||

KD22
Bobby, I agree with you that the KA 22 cleans beautifully. Just wish it had the little impeller on the top. Occasionally, I get deposits on the indentations of the bottoms of the coffee mugs. But overall, it cleans fantastic and is very very quiet. I too keep my water heater set at 140 degrees and have had no problem with the KA or with my GE2800. | ||

GadgetGary, in your opinion, which one cleans better, the KDS 22 or the GE 2800? I never used a 2800 personally, but they always got rave reviews, with the orbiting wash arm and all. Bobby in Boston | ||

KA vs. GE
Bobby, It is a tough call. I think both machines are EXCELLENT performers. They both clean the dishes no matter what you throw in. I think the KA dries a bit better since it has the fan, but, dishes come out of the GE equally dry. As I stated, my only complaint with the KA is occasionally some residue left in the bottom of coffee mugs(more noticeable since I have some black mugs). That KA in the auction had something on the top to spray down on the dishes if I am not mistaken. It was only a small impeller that would shower water down on the top of the dishes. Appnut: What is S&C in reference to? Your 1200 has the same wash system as my 2800. Those dishwashers worked perfectly. I am glad that I have both. And I do use both of them. Gary | ||

I didn't pause and check the KA as a matter of normal course. Only in cases of an exceptionally tough item. ;-) For example, a baked-on 9x13 or 11x14 dish that was standing vertical such that direct spray-force didn't reach the lower edge, I'd rotate it 180° during the main wash. I did miss the ConstantRinse for flushing bits of debris from the bottom of cups/glasses. That, plus continued circulation during water heating, would have pushed it right up to perfection, IMHO.

You never know...
Today I found a KDS-17 at the Lake County Habitat ReStore in Gurnee for $25. It even has the frame kit on the front panels. I also got a KUDS220T3, which I will clean up and give to a friend as part of what seems to have developed into a KitchenAid rescue program. Both were $25. And both will have to live in my parents' garage until I come back this way with my station wagon. Good times. T. | ||
